Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I'm going to jump to a conclusion right now. Last night while watching Global @ 6pm, I saw that Robertson has a plan in mind to have bicycles that you can "get-on and get-off when you please." They didn't go too indepth into this, and I haven't researched much about it, yet how can you stop someone from stealing one of these bicycles? I can just see a field day for bum's stealing all these bicycles the tax payers paid for. I'm all for the environment yet wasting tax money on things that only 10% of the population of Vancouver do (bike lanes) seems abit outrageous.
They also have monthly and yearly passes fixed cost iirc.

Agreed, they're everywhere come summertime and the fact that there are bike routes linking all the subway/Bixi stations and marketplaces makes for an awesome way to get around the city.
